The story :
After a rather long week in the city, Olivia decides to take a short camping trip. A few locals suggested the mountains just outside the city as a prime location for camping. Olivia packed her gear and set out on a trip to relax and find nature. Into the mountains, she hiked for several hours, along the way passing many tourist, and fellow hikers. Each seemed to greet her with a smile and wave. After a while, she comes to find what looked like a perfect spot for a small camp. She eagerly unpacked and set up her camp. After a calm evening of relaxing only 2 others passed by as the sun began to set.
A polite couple happened near the camp and stopped to chat. Seemed they were also camping for the weekend just on the other side of the ridge. This made Olivia feel a little better knowing others were around but not so close as to ruin her trip. That night Olivia’s sleep was broken, she could hear strange sounds. At times almost like heavy footsteps not far away, strange growls…..or maybe just 2 people talking….she was not sure. She decided she was in the woods after all. Animals would be common as well as the couple she knew would not be far away maybe they were engaging in some activities or just talking loudly…so sounds or even talking would not be a strange thing to hear.
Just after dawn Olivia woke, the morning air was chilly but already the sun felt warm on Olivia’s face. After a light breakfast, Olivia laced her boots and decided to travel to the shoreline where she believed some of the noise had come from the night before. After exploring the better part of the day Olivia decided the sun was sinking over the horizon much faster than she liked. The time to head back had come and she hurried toward camp. The hills and cliffs in the mountain made the going slow, so she decided down near the water the going would be faster. As Olivia hurried down the shoreline her gaze was captured by the sun slowly sinking into the ocean.
Her lack of awareness, and rushed pace allowed one of the very skilled and proud lizardfolk spies the opportunity to ambush Olivia. Olivia cried out as the beast landed upon her, a single cry for help was the final sound before a heavy blow knocked her unconscious. On the edge of a distant ridge, the kind couple Olivia had been camping near thought they heard a sound…..almost like a cry for help. The husband curious grabbed his bird watching binoculars and scanned the beach far below. After a moment trying to adjust his eyes against the setting sun’s final rays, he saw what looked like a large man…….but not really a man…. an oddly shaped figure with what looked like a large tail dragging behind it. Over its shoulder it carried something a sack maybe…..but again he adjusted now the focus of the binoculars as the creature rounded a sharp corner, the man was almost sure the sack was, in fact, a human ……a woman he thought!
As the creature faded out of sight so to did the suns final rays. The man upset tried to convince his wife of what he has seen but the sun had set and any attempts to reach the distant beach area at night could end in injury or harm coming to them. So they decided to return the next morning to town to inform the police of what he believed he saw.
Event Explanation and rules :
The idea of this short event (A week roughly) is the Lizard Folk that we encountered in a previous event are now aware of us…..maybe they have been aware long before now but things have changed and they now either fear or hate the humans. A lizard person while on a patrol stumbled upon an easy target "Olivia", one they remembered from the night the humans came to their Kingdom. They make the decision to capture her alive and bring her back.
The idea I had was it might be fun to step outside of the normal roles everyone is playing. This event will give everyone the chance to assume the role of one of the lizardfolk.
Anyone who wants could have the opportunity to role-play one of the lizard people, a guard, wizard, priest, or whatever.
I will be held in a prison in their kingdom and you can interact with me as one of the lizard race. This event is not meant to have a serious impact on any current storylines, but it could have small effects. For example;
“a Lizard Guard” might question me and find out humans rely heavily on motorized vehicles to travel Suzie, might later have them destroy the local gas station… or something like that."
So the role play should be along those lines. You would be a proud member of the Lizard Folk, I your human prisoner. Some Lizard Folk might see Olivia as a threat others might feel the humans mean no harm. The role you play as a lizardfolk is yours to choose.
How would players join the RP :
If I am online they can send me a message asking to do an “Event” at which time I could open the room and begin. Or they can respond to the thread on the forum and I can set up a time for us to meet up. I would like to run it long enough to give everyone a chance to join.
